Sad to announce cancellation of this concert tomorrow due to severe weather warnings - thanks to Glenn and the Choir for all their hard work and to HT for hosting. We plan to announce a new date for another concert soon.

A long-planned event by this fantastic Community Choir - happening a week on Thursday. Free admission but donations to Tumaini. Please come if you can - see you there? xx

Thanks to everyone who came along and to those that helped at the Tumaini update at Holy Trinity yesterday evening. “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” - thanks to those who signed up to help. More volunteers please! 💕🇬🇬💕🇹🇿

Hoping you can come along this evening. 💕

Teamwork makes the dream work at 18 Fountain Street today as the new Tumaini Shop - hopefully opening 21st September - starts to take shape. Deb and Laurence - you rock! Dougie has really enjoyed working with you.

Such a small thing, but such a huge thing. Count me in. 💕 instagram.com/reel/Dc4aQrvBy…

Work continues at 18 Fountain Street, our fantastic team led by Laurence is really getting stuck in. We close the Tumaini Shop at the Picquet House on 12th Sept., if we don’t secure another shop, we plan to open in Fountain St. on 21st Sept. “It’s teamwork makes the dream work”

“All good clean fun!”, not really!But very grateful to Jo and Phil for temporary lodging in 18 Fountain Street while we find a new home for the Tumaini Shop. We are still 4 months behind in paying our hardworking social work team in Tz so the shop income-stream is so important.

Very moving time yesterday paying respects at the Palace in Oslo, with friends, on the death of King Harald V who was an amazing and very relatable King. There were thousands of people there, laying flowers and lighting candles. ❤️‍🩹🇳🇴

A very interesting time with Janet Eriksen and her sewing ladies in Askim, Norway 🇳🇴- they have made around 1000 hygiene kits so that our girls can get to school during their periods. “Tusend Takk Norge” 🇳🇴 #BeTheDifference

So lovely to spend time with Viv’s daughter Sarah and her husband Bijarke in Copenhagen- they looked after me so well. Thanks to Sarah for taking on the donated Royal Copenhagen Christmas plates to sell for Tumaini - definitely a case of “coals to Newcastle”! ❤️🇩🇰❤️

Wednesday lunch-time meeting with dear retired doctor friends. It is always such a lovely occasion - Dougie’s was the best photo, but he wasn’t in it! 💕🇬🇬

Lunch with Dougie and the retired doctors today - always a great time sharing with old friends. Now we can discuss all of own ailments as times go on!! It is fun!

Tumaini stall at the Alderney Saturday street market with Tumaini Alderney ⭐️ Kate. Always lovely to be in #Alderney - it is our Flag Day today. Thanks to all the volunteers and people who give so generously. ❤️Alderney

I was given a duck on Ikuza Island as- that’s a first - from our two parish-workers (Wahudumu) there.

“Sarnia Cherie!” On the wall of the new social-work office in Kikuku - amazing!

4 month old Elias looks much better sitting on Granny than on me!! He is on our milk programme because he lost his Mum at 3 weeks old. Most of these babies die shortly after birth due to gastroenteritis from infected uji (gruel) but we will supply milk until he is 2 yrs old.

The pool at the back was the previous water source at Mtakuja, water for 782 humans but shared with cattle and goats and so they suffered persistent illnesses & childhood deaths. Thanks to TF USA 🇺🇸 we constructed this lovely well in 2025 and there was great thanks & joy.💕🇹🇿💕🇺🇸

What a gorgeous home (look at that door - crafted by our carpentry school) in Rukaragata, replacing a horrible leaking mud shack. What beautiful children and what a privilege to lift them up and see their dignity restored.
